Youth money management programme to continue

Young people who are not in education, employment or training (Neet) will continue to receive advice on how to look after their finances after the National Youth Agency (NYA) and Barclays Bank announced they will extend their money management programme.

The initial Money Skills project came to an end in June but the two organisations have renewed their partnership in order to deliver a "legacy project" with the wider youth sector.

The first phase of the project, which ran for two years, saw 5,284 Neet 16- to 24-year-olds develop a range of money management skills.

Those young people became "champions" for the project and were encouraged to share their new skills with 121,000 other young people.

During the second phase of the programme, UK Youth, Rathbone and Kinetic will support 100 of those champions to develop employability skills and become financially independent.
